Being highly decorated has 0 to do with it.
You have to be active duty for at least 1 day to be eligible and it can't be for training.
So if he was never deployed or activated for anything other than training then he doesn't meet the requirements.

Don't they have ww ii vets buried there who died long after the war? They weren't active duty at the time of death.
Yeah, some guy named John F. Kennedy as I recall.
Reread the link and think about what you are asking in this ^ post. You'll realize that what you just did broke the rule of "There's no such thing as a dumb question."

I agree with the ruling. Guy was never even deployed.
That's as good as not even being in the military according to that dumbass thread last week.
But rules are rules

The rules are so strict because President Clinton put nearly 70 special exemptions into the Cemetery. Diplomats, SCOTUS' spouses, DC police officer, etc. a bunch of people that never served in the armed forces.

NG people who have never done anything at all resembling military service
What about active duty members of the band, cooks, truck drivers and support staff that are allowed?
